Second Time Moms - Still No Movement?

Hi Ladies! I am 16 weeks 2 days with baby 2. With DS I began feeling flutters pretty regularly around 14 weeks and he gave me the first big kick at exactly 16 weeks. With this LO I have felt only a couple flutters but nothing consistent. Sometimes I wonder if it's still those phantom kicks from DS pregnancy. Any other second time moms still not feeling anything? I still get paranoid

I'm 4 months and still feel nothing. Sometimes I think I can feel him... But I don't know.. I'm anxious for those big kicks where other people. Can feel them. I can't remember when I started to feel my first

Totally relate. I'm 16 weeks 5 days and got my first real kick/ wiggle last night. I feel like I felt my first son move much earlier. I've been feeling a lot of bumping but my digestion has been crazy so I was less certain this time around. The baby could be kicking into the placenta btw making it harder to decipher movement, or kicking towards your back. They are still pretty small. I wouldn't worry too much :)

I'm not sure if I have an anterior placenta. The doctor hasn't said anything though so I'm assuming not. But that is a good point, maybe LO is facing back because I have had a lot of back pain lately. I know they're still small but it's hard to imagine not feeling something the size of an avocado moving around in there!

i feel an odd tap once in a while but nothing to make me feel comfort yet. i also cant remember when i felt the bigger kicks with ds.

I'm 16 weeks pregnant with #5 and I still can't feel anything that I know for sure is baby. I feel a few flutters, but I can't be certain that it is baby and not gas! It does worry me, but I am heavier than I've ever been (mainly due to a loss in the fall that I didn't loose the weight from before becoming pregnant again), so I wonder if that is why. I do have a Doppler, so I do know that baby is still in there with his/her heart beating....that is reassuring!
